script to remove spaces and text in multiple file names


  • Subject: script to remove spaces and text in multiple file names
  • From: Michael Caporale <email@hidden>

I am not currently using applescript, but I have been told it would be helpful in automating a repetitive task that I need t o accomplish tomorrow.

I have 8,000 documents in folders that have spaces in their names that need to be removed. Also I need to remove specific recurring text, such as the word "copy"

Can anyone tell me how to write a script to do this?

Thanks in advance.
